Student Life

What is Student Life Like at PMI?

Precision Manufacturing Institute has students from all walks of life, students at different points in their life, and students with varied background and situations that have occurred in their life. The Institute attempts to go beyond the classrooms and labs to bring these groups together and participate in activities such as: chili cook-off, family picnic, sundae party, and more!

At PMI a wide variety of student services are available for you at no charge. We want you to succeed in your training – so we hope you will take advantage of some of the extra services that can help you make the adjustment for your educational experiences.

PMI focuses heavily on the student interaction and participation. We strive to provide our students with the best possible learning environment. Most classrooms are equipped with image projectors and computers to assist with the training students receive. We have computer labs and computers available for student usage; in addition we have WiFi for wireless connections. Our small learning environment allows instructors to really spend time with each one of their students.

If you’re coming from outside the area, we can help you find affordable housing close to the Institute. We maintain a list of rental houses and apartments, complete with landlord names, addresses, descriptions, and prices. You have the option of following up on your own, or asking us for a recommendation.

Need to speak to an instructor, student advisor, financial aid officer, student services, someone for housing, even the Director? We’re all here to help and to answer your questions. Feel free to visit anyone you need to see.

Student activities are regularly planned. Stop on by the Student Services department to pick up the latest issue of “Shop Talk”, our student newsletter, or read it on the Institute’s website, and check out the PMI events calendar to find out what’s happening for the month.

Worried about finding a parking spot after you get to the Institute? At PMI, there are large, free-of-charge parking lots without having the hassle of finding convenient parking. Just remember to register your vehicle with the Student Services Department.
